LaFleur’s Heat & Joint Practice Challenges | Arizona Cardinals News

New Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur is pushing hard for joint practices—ideally two or three—to prep players like game day while minimizing injury risk, but he’s already missed the window to schedule them this year. With Arizona’s brutal heat deterring other teams from visiting, the Cardinals will keep traveling for these sessions, often conflicting with their preseason home games. To combat the heat, LaFleur’s team now mixes indoor bubble workouts with outdoor drills, balancing player safety and conditioning—even as they prepare for a September road game in Santa Clara where the heat can be just as punishing. It’s all about finding that sweet spot between intensity and player health. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
